Wash, Brush and Dry

Our Wash, Brush, and Dry service is designed to quickly refresh and revitalise your dog’s coat and overall appearance. This grooming package includes two warm water baths using gentle, natural shampoo to cleanse and nourish the coat. After washing, your dog will receive a thorough brush-out and a professional blow dry to leave their coat smooth, clean, and healthy.

Ideal for pets with low-maintenance coat types, this service does not include styling, making it the perfect solution for maintaining your pet’s hygiene and coat condition between full grooming sessions.

Maintenance Groom

Our Maintenance Groom service is designed to keep your dog looking clean, healthy, and well-maintained between full grooming sessions. Perfect for dogs with high-maintenance coat types, this service includes two warm water baths using natural, gentle shampoo to thoroughly cleanse the coat.

In addition, your dog will receive a full brush-out and professional blow dry to prevent matting and keep their fur soft and manageable. We also provide essential care for hygiene areas, including ear cleaning and nail trimming, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and fresh.

Ideal for breeds with thicker, curlier, or longer coats, this maintenance grooming service helps prolong the health and appearance of your dog’s coat, saving you time and effort while maintaining their best look.

De-shedding

Our De-shedding Treatment is designed specifically for double-coated dogs that shed heavily, such as Retrievers, Huskies, German Shepherds, and similar small-medium breeds.

This service includes two warm water baths using natural, coat-friendly shampoo, followed by the thorough removal of loose and dead undercoat using our specialist blaster dryer and professional de-shedding tools. 

This process significantly reduces shedding while keeping your dog’s coat healthy, breathable, and looking its best.

As part of the treatment, we’ll also attend to hygiene areas, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and provide a face trim and tidy, just like in a full groom.

Give your dog relief from excess hair and enjoy a cleaner home with our expert dog de-shedding service in Harpenden.

Dental Clinic

At Bridget’s Dog Grooming in Harpenden, we offer professional Emmi-Pet Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning—a gentle, non-invasive, and stress-free solution for maintaining your dog’s oral health. This advanced technology uses a silent, non-vibrating ultrasonic toothbrush paired with specially formulated Emmi-Pet toothpaste to effectively break down plaque, tartar, and bacteria, even deep below the gum line.

Our canine dental care service begins with an introductory session, which includes a full dental assessment and your dog’s first ultrasonic teeth cleaning. Follow-up sessions are shorter and designed to maintain oral hygiene, helping to prevent dental disease, bad breath, and costly vet bills.

We proudly use the trusted Emmi-Pet system, known for its safe and effective approach to dog dental care.

Full Groom

This comprehensive package includes two warm water baths using natural, gentle shampoo to deeply cleanse and nourish your dog’s coat.

After bathing, we provide a thorough brush-out and professional blow dry to leave your pet’s fur soft and manageable. Using expert clipper and scissor techniques, we carefully shape and style your dog to achieve the desired look, tailored to their breed and your preferences.

As part of this all-inclusive grooming service, we also attend to essential hygiene areas, including ear cleaning and nail trimming, ensuring your dog looks and feels their absolute best. 

Puppy Introduction (3-6 Months)

Our Puppy Introduction Grooming Service is specially designed for puppies aged 3 to 6 months, helping them gently acclimate to the grooming environment. 

At Bridget’s Dog Grooming, we take a calm, holistic approach to ensure your puppy feels safe, relaxed, and happy during their early grooming experiences.

This introductory session includes two warm water baths with natural, puppy-friendly shampoo, followed by a gentle brush-out and a fluffy blow dry. We also aim to attend to hygiene areas, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and provide a light face trim and tidy, depending on your puppy’s comfort level.

Because puppies are still learning and adjusting, some may need multiple sessions to build up to the full grooming routine. This service is ideal for setting your  puppy up for a lifetime of stress-free grooming.

Hand Stripping

At Bridget’s Dog Grooming, we offer expert hand stripping for wiry-coated breeds such as Terriers, Schnauzers, and Wirehaired Pointers.

This specialist grooming technique involves removing dead hair by hand, rather than using clippers, to preserve the natural texture, colour, and condition of your dog’s coat.

Hand stripping not only enhances your dog’s coat appearance but also promotes healthy regrowth and helps reduce shedding. It’s the preferred grooming method for maintaining the authentic look of wire-haired breeds, especially for show dogs or those requiring breed-standard care.

If you’re looking for professional hand stripping in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, Bridget’s Dog Grooming provides gentle, skilled service tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

Individual Services

At Bridget’s Dog Grooming, we also offer individual dog grooming services—perfect for those quick touch-ups between full grooms. Whether your dog needs a simple nail trim, ear plucking, or paw tidy-up, we are here to help.
